Why Competition Shooting Will Save Your Life
In light of recent events I thought it was appropriate to make this video on why competition shooting is not just beneficial for the sake of getting better at shooting, but it directly correlates to saving your life if you take it seriously. Enjoy the video and I'm sure there will be more than a few comments in the comment section either supporting or refuting this point. If you are going to refute it, please include actual facts, statistics, or data that support your point. Thank you all, stay safe and stay trained.

    Good training. Try including a reload too Instead of running, try doing a tac walk while firing to keep suppression fire on target, tac reload to top off, and mag dump at end to finish them. I recently broke my right shoulder. I've taken it as a sign to work on weak arm fight, and 1 handed reload and racking.

    I recently watched the same video of the dangers of competition shooting that you did. So after watching a fair amount of his other “training videos” a few things occurred to me. I was irritated with the disinformation he was spreading that would lead to someone who didn’t know better to not shoot competition and further develop their shooting skills. Which Is actually dangerous. Ultimately, After a while I started feeling sorry for him. He spoke frequently about the 83+ classes he had taken. So he really can’t back down from his position due to the presumably 100k +/- he has tied up in it. He could have used a portion of those funds for other experiences to expand his skills as opposed to repeating the same classes (which he said he did). And get more out of his time and money. Kinda painted into a corner now after making taking classes his “brand” He did perfectly demonstrate why shooting steel dangerously close is a horrible idea in a few of his videos. Side note. For the most part the only time you would shoot standing in one place in idpa matches is for “standards” stages. Which are tests of marksmanship. Those stages are rare cuz we all hate them. All other “scenario” stages will involve multiple shooting positions from points of cover with movement along with moving targets/steel and stuff. It’s more dynamic than it used to be I enjoyed ur video greatly.

Who can shoot better… but but.. BUT! They don’t care about reality, or what proof literally just happened in front of them. I won’t say their name, but a small YT that seems to be the “tactical type” was at a well known instructors class I took this year. He was very sub par at best, and worried several students and probably the instructor multiple times. Nice guy, but odd, and end of the day was very average at shooting.

    This was an excellent breakdown. I started competing in USPSA about a year ago, and I've seen significant improvements in my shooting. I often argue with my fellow LEOs that participating in at least two matches a month would provide more practical training than the typical in-service "trainings." The main obstacles, however, are ego and fear of failure.

  • @blackmarshalprecision

    At this point, I'm convinced that "instructors" who are arguing against acquiring and maintaining the hard skills at a high level are just trying to bastardize performance to meet their current level so they don't have to train more and promote themselves as the "end all be all" for profit. It's just that you can't seriously believe you're furthering the training community by spouting USPSA, IDPA, PCSL, etc. is a detriment to performance. It's 20fucking25 people.

    Where does discrimination come into play during a competition? I don’t disagree that there is something to learn from competition but it is not the same as real combat. Why would you shoot and move at the same time. You can’t do either one 100%?

    • @rasgrouptraining
      @rasgrouptraining 13 днів тому

      No shoots, partials, hard covers, and target clusters 100% tie into discrimination and visual aggression. I don’t know how you could argue it doesn’t. You’re literally given an array of targets and forced to shoot some and not all at a pretty fast pace if you hope to win. Next, there’s times to stop and shoot and times it doesn’t make sense to. It’s called blending positions. Your baseline skill and ability dictates what distances and size of targets you can confidently blend. Further more, no one is saying it is real combat. I am saying it’s one of the closest situations you can put yourself in. Very few force on force or SIM schools are structured well enough to give the other aspects that go with it. Most are glorified paintball games.

    • @TGS-rb8us
      @TGS-rb8us 13 днів тому

      @ the “discrimination” is white/brown. It’s not that way in real life. LE has to deal with armed people who aren’t necessarily threats all of the time. Some are home owners some are CC holders some are other LE. You can’t just see gun and shoot. Again, I’m not saying there isn’t something to learn from USPSA but it’s not the same. Force on force training is much closer to real stress targets acquisition and discrimination that white/brown. I will agree that many force on force trainings aren’t set up properly for actual training I’ve attended several that weren’t. But when it’s done correctly it’s invaluable.

    • @rasgrouptraining
      @rasgrouptraining 13 днів тому

      @ But without the hard skills of being able to run a gun at a high level force on force is irrelevant. If it takes you 3 seconds to draw and fire your first shot vs. the other guy who is sub second at a level 3 confirmation then you lose every time. It all comes back to high development of hard skills , even once you thought you moved away from it. Competition is where that happens. It is the #1 test of the #1 thing that you need to win. Simple as that. If someone isn’t pushing the hard skill development then I’m not sure what what they’re doing, because it isn’t worth much.

    Another thing that somehow is controversial but shouldn’t be. All training is valuable. Training under pressure is even more valuable. I might not lead a professional soccer team but can I learn something about leadership from a team manager? Absolutely. You have to find the carryover. Can the fine motor skills under time pressure and the hand eye skills of competition shooting be valuable? Sure. Does it cover all aspects of self defense shooting? No… but by that logic the only training that’s would be considered “valuable” would be actual gunfights; and that’s just silly.

    The whole RDS vs Iron Sights debate has nothing to do with fundamentals as the shooting fundamentals are the same. I personally chose not to use RDS on pistols or rifles because of issues I've seen first hand or experienced. That includes optic plates failing on handguns, rain obscuring the lense, moisture obscuring the emitter window (open emitter), fogging due to temperature changes (rifle optics) and delamination of glass (LOLTech). To me iron sights are far simpler and I trust them more. I'm not wrong, just like someone who uses a RDS isn't wrong.

      @@nwordpass80 To start with, sight alignment, vision, and most importantly focus is in fact a core fundamental. Almost as major as grip but grip will always remain supreme. Thinking that focus isn’t a fundamental is objectively wrong. It’s our focus that allows us to send accurate shots from a draw with minimal confirmation and shoot aggressively at distances of 20-40 yards with maximum accountability. There’s actual science to back why irons fail more than dots do. Long story short the heat generated from shooting quite a bit and frequently will 10/10 times affect any thread locker you use and thus you will have issues. Just like if people use oil on optic plates or screws with the wrong thread locker, you’ll see issues but that’s chemical reaction and or user error that can be prevented through knowledge, heat from shooting can’t be. Ultimately run whatever you want. My goal is to be fastest and most accurate on any day I need to perform. Dots across the board have shown to be reliable, durable, and performance engaging. At the rate and amount I shoot, I feel beyond confident in the RDS vs. irons debate. If you never shoot beyond 10 yards it’ll never matter. As soon as you start running a pistol aggressively at distance, it makes a world of difference.

      @ Your force on force classes must include wearing a bunch of padding and jackets with rules of no touching or something similar. We have had students in both our force on force classes and in James’s classes that were competition shooters And virtually every single one of them said that there was no comparison at all regarding anxiety and tension level when it came between the scenarios we run and running a competition course. That’s the silliest is shit I’ve ever heard. With the exception of many of the force on force classes I’ve seen where the combatants do not shoot back or they allow you to wear shit loads of clothing and padding to avoid the repercussions of the rounds hitting nearly bare skin. I’m not sure why combat arms chooses not to debate or partake in any of your offers. I’m simply going off of the silly shit I hear you saying

      I shoot about 50K rounds of pistol a year. I travel all over teaching and taking classes. Unless someone competes in production, everyone is running a dot. For a multitude of reasons. Majority of master and grand master shooters not only compete but also carry with just a dot. It’s really nothing new. You should seek some reputable training and hopefully understand that “fail safes” such as irons become pretty pointless once you run a dot. This is also why no one uses iron sights on rifles anymore, and haven’t for about 35 years. Stop buying into the garbage and seek performance on demand

    CAT alumni here, I have no idea what either of you guys are talking about with regard to fundamentals being unimportant. I saw this video pop up on my feed for I'm assuming algo reasons, so I was hoping you'd explain what he said at some point in refuting it because I'm pretty sure he would only say that as a way to weave a point which was conspicuously absent. I'm commenting because it's funny that your research turned up that Andrew was a grunt and without ever hearing him talk about Marine training reinforcing anything to do with his curriculum, you just assume it does lol. I have only ever heard him talk about how all DoD training is geared toward <80 IQs, and poorly so. I don't expect anyone to consume ALL of some other dude's content before making a rebuttal video, but I DO expect that you'd rebut something that was actually said.

I know he’s a marine because I read his website bio and he also posts every class and training he’s ever taken in this comments section, which is hilarious we all laughed at that list.

So I'd need to see the video you're refuting if I have any hope of finding out what he said. Otherwise, this is no different than getting our news from headlines and completely ignoring whatever was said in any news article. The "fundamentals vs something else" argument is kind of pointless if his "something else" is different from your "something else". Or worse yet, if the "something else" is a strawman "anything else" which can be whatever is easy to refute.
